Topic
The logical name under which related events are published and consumed, physically split into partitions.
A topic is the abstraction producers and consumers see — for example, pagamentos.aprovados. It has no
schema imposed by Kafka itself; what it guarantees is the split into partitions, each an ordered, immutable
log. Delivery order is guaranteed within each partition of the topic, not across different topics, and not
necessarily across partitions of the same topic.
